Stress Relief

As incredible as it seems, stress serves a purpose in our lives. Stress is our body’s system telling us we must address an issue. While we can never fully eliminate stress, we do not have to accept it as a long term issue. Many medical professionals acknowledge that stress in our closed physical/psychological system creates or increases illness, so why must stress exist in the first place?

When we are at work and deadlines draw near, stress is created telling us to focus our time and effort. Once that message has been sent, stress no longer serves a purpose and should be released. Unfortunately, stress sometimes becomes such a constant companion, we feel at a loss when it is not present. This brings on the long term issues that stress creates. When we are under stress, we cannot focus or work to the best of our potential.
